Concepts

Typo-tolerance is extremely important in modern search experiences for two reasons. First of all, with more and more usage occurring on mobile devices, typos are inevitable. Furthermore, for products with increasingly global userbases, not everyone will know the exact right way to spell a word — typo-tolerance is a powerful tool to support this growth.

Algolia provides robust typo-tolerance out-of-the-box, along with easy ways to customize just how tolerant a search experience should be.

Algolia’s typo-tolerance algorithm is based on the Damerau–Levenshtein distance, which is the minimum number of operations (character additions, deletions, substitutions, or transpositions) required to change one word into another.

two typos

Below are a few examples of typo counts for various queries against a record containing the text “michael.”

Typo count is the very first criterion considered in Algolia’s default ranking formula. Because Algolia uses a tie-breaking algorithm to determine ranking, this means that records containing exact query matches are considered more relevant than any others, regardless of other ranking criteria.

We recommend the Ranking Formula’s default configuration for the vast majority of use cases.

In addition to typos, Algolia handles splitting and concatenation — the insertion or removal of spaces or punctuation between two words. This way, “entert ainment” will match with “entertainment” and “jamesbrown” will match with “James Brown.”

These splits and concatenations are not considered typos, and they only work when there are no other typing mistakes.

Splitting and concatenation will only be performed when matching
whole words
, not prefixes. This means that “entert ainm” will not match “entertainment”, and that “jamesbro” will not match “james brown.”

whole words

Every search experience and userbase is different; that’s why Algolia makes it easy to configure exactly how typos are handled.

Typo-tolerance is only enabled once the query reaches a certain character length, defined in
minWordSizefor1Typo
. As soon as the word contains at least
minWordSizefor1Typo
characters, the engine will allow one typo in matches.
